SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
New Day entrance to the building: Hit
I liked this. It was a simple and effective way of establishing their characters and being put off that people don’t like them anymore. It’s better turning into vicious heels who growl everything. I love the whole “what did WE do?” attitude. They definitely needed a refresher.
Final Testament vs. The Wyatt Sicks: Hit
Finally! The Final Testament got a win! I kid…sort of. They really had to go over, as their losing their luster as a supposedly dominant group who lose constantly. The Wyatt family lose nothing from the loss, as the crowd to continue to cheer for them moving forward. A longer feud for these two factions could be fun.
C.M. Punk interview: Hit
I like this style of sit down interview. Backstage interviews are okay, but these stand out more. It’s no…chaotic, I think. These nothing in the background that distracts you and you can completely focus on what’s being said. I liked Punk’s look at history and Rollins side of things should good, too. I like this feud a lot.
Dakota Kai vs. Liv Morgan: Hit
You knew Kai didn’t have a chance in hell (no chance!…sorry, had to…) of winning, but I think she gained from having to overcome much interference and she looked good in defeat. I always felt coming to the main roster that she has been underutilized. I’m hoping she goes deep in the IC tourney or even better, wins it.

Seth Rollins / Sami Zayn promo: Minor Hit
I mentioned before that eth Rollins side of the story would be interesting to hear… until it wasn’t. Not a lot of meat on the bone and I think a better story was told between he and Zayn. Rollins will probably be more of the heel in the feud, if so, I would love to see him go back to the more “cult leader-like” character, which I used to love.
Lyra Valkyria vs. Ivy Nile vs. Zelina Vega: Minor Hit
Thankfully Vega didn’t the loss like usual (another underutilized talent). I’ve been a fan of Lyra’s since NXT:UK (man, I miss that show!) and I was happy to see her advance.
New Day: Major Hit
As I mentioned in their Hit entering the building, this was fun! The innocent looks of not understanding why they are being mistreated is a hoot and this is the most interested I’ve been The New Day in years!
Raquel Rodriguez vs. Rhea Ripley: Hit
A well done “we’ve this before” type of hardcore match. Not necessarily a bad thing, but all start to look alike sometimes. But, the women worked hard and congrats to the company letting the women headline more shows nowadays.
